This tubby little turd believed it when the satirical mag, The Onion, said he had been selected by People magazine as “The Sexiest Man Alive”. Joke was on him.

Buy stock in No-Doze, I sense a surge in sales in North Korea.

And where are people going to find the cash to buy the stock? :)

Oh yeah, what do they call the North Korean Stock Market index again?

"... Hyon Yong Chol was killed by anti-aircraft gunfire with hundreds watching ...."

You know. When you're gonna execute someone for falling asleep - do it up big.

South Korea’s spy agency told the country’s lawmakers Wednesday that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un executed his defense chief for falling asleep during a meeting and talking back to the young leader.

...

I bet talking back was the real reason.

I hope he at least got a chance to pretend he had fallen asleep during the execution.

Always leave them laughing, I say.

My HS math teacher (also the football coach) used to wake up students who fell asleep in class with a good toss of the blackboard eraser... he had a great aim. Execution does however sound a bit excessive.

Well, it would be quick . . .

Gotta give the lil commie credit. He sure is creative when killing senior staff.

I am waiting for him to attach his EPA chief to a torpedo and shoot at some whales.

Where do I get one of those cool balloon hats?

[McGruff]

Maybe just a training accident.

I bet talking back was the real reason.

Yep. However, most articles I've seen about this incident only mention the falling asleep part. Because that makes for a better story. Actual facts are no longer important.

I am applying for the No-Doz North Korean franchise....

Odd, distracted - almost sleepy and inattentive - faces on ALL of the generals right behind the dictator.

You’d never that attitude in Japan, China, Russia ...
